Teh Gamers
Has anyone driven by the ballpark and seen these lame ads? Or heard the commericals on KNBR?
It looks like we are in for a real long season with this being our motto, and I think it was Bhaakon who pointed out that the term "gamer" always seems to apply to white guys who aren't the most physically talented...and he's right, I never hear "gamer" or "gritty player" about players from the DC or Cuba.
How about this motto instead "Come watch some shitty white boys try real hard, but will fail miserably...$9 for that Anchor Steam please".
F me, I can't wait to get to Vegas to bet the under.

If this team wins 81 games I'll be dancing in the streets. I want them to do well, but I am not blind. Just realistic. All I want from them this year is to be competetive and play the kids. However, given the brain trusts body of work the last three years or so, I am skeptical.

Don't forget the offense or lack there of. This team is struggling to score runs in the thin air of AZ. It doesn't matter how well we pitch, if we can't score any runs.

Didn't we win 71 last year? We've lost Bonds, all his walks...Molina will never see that many ducks on the pond, let alone drive them in...Feliz is another hole (though not as big as the one in his swing)...there was that spark we had when Rajai came over, won't happen again...Omar & Lowry are already hurt...we have no pen...no 1st or 3rd baseman...we have great SPs, but the pen will ruin it for them...and an overall offense that will never be able to rally back from 2-3 run early deficits, and a bullpen that will be eager to blow the few 1 run games we get. We are a far worse team this year.
Could this team win more than 71 games? Maybe. Not a snowballs chance in hell they win 81, no facking way.
